Even children without an artistic bone in their young bodies as well as those suffering from autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia, have found a creative outlet using items found around the home like, rice, washing up liquid and human hair etc.

None of them items normally associated with art. And perhaps this is why his lively, unique and upbeat method of delivering a message that creativity can cross many boundaries, has ensured Speight is the only originating member of the SMart team still involved with the TV show.

Miss Collins had apparently died after taking cocaine although whether the quality, or the quantity of the drug Miss Collins consumed is to blame, remains to be seen.

A statement issued by his solicitor Nabeel Sheikh said: "Mark has been questioned by the police on account of the fact that the body of his fiancee, Natasha Collins, was found in the flat they shared.

"At the moment no-one knows what happened. Mark found her body in the bathroom and immediately called an ambulance and the police."

Mr Speight, who dialled 999 to report Miss Collins's death on Thursday, was held initially on suspicion of murder and of supplying a class A drug and was later released on bail after being questioned at a central London police station.

Police sources said no post mortem examination had yet been carried out on Miss Collins, whose death was being treated as "unexplained", but detectives have all but ruled out foul play and are investigating whether Mr Speight supplied drugs to Miss Collins which may have caused or contributed to her death.

A fact that has little or no consequences in the big picture as drug users, certainly those who are "couples", will often buy a substance individually, to share with a loved one. A fact that in no way insinuates Mr Speight as responsible for his fiance's death, no matter what conclusions the police may come up with.

A white Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons
After the death's of three young people in Ireland over whats turned out not to be such a "happy" festive period this tragic situation again brings into the limelight the fact that something needs to be done over the all-consuming tide of class A drugs, and BAD class A drugs to boot, which is currently sweeping over our nation, whilst Police forces across the country concentrate on cannabis as public enemy number 1.

A substance which has not killed a single person and regardless of what the government "spin doctors" attempt to "force-feed" us as citizens, as tax payers and as voters.

In a week which has seen the Chief Constable of North Wales again calling for the legalisation and the regulation of all illicit drugs, situations such as that which Mr Speight finds himself in could be all but abolished if the government were prepared to step in, and take illicit drugs off our streets.

If the Labour party were prepared to regulate the supply of illegal and dangerous narcotics such as cocaine and heroin, this would allow for levels of quality control in substances which currently do not exist.

Substances which people WILL continue to take, and regardless of the risks involved with the fact that no one can guarantee the "purity" of the substance they are about to ingest.

Street dealers have been known to "cut" cocaine - dilute it, using chemicals and solvents normally only found in industrial applications. Previous cases have seen cocaine users ingesting rat poisons and highly toxic drain cleaners as well as baking soda and flour amongst others.

Red or Black?
Under the current regime, the drug user has no idea what the cocaine has been cut with, until they ingest the substance and suffer a bad reaction.

Or not!

In the same week former Radio 1 DJ Kevin Greening was found dead after consuming a lethal cocktail of drugs which included cocaine, ecstasy and a substance better known as a date rape drug - GHB, we have to ask Prime Minister Gordon Brown how many more British citizens will he allow to die before he takes action?
